The nvidia driver installer removes the conflicting mesa drivers and
especially /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0

If I backup this library bevor installing the nvidia driver and change
one symbolic link pointing to the systems library then x2go works fine.

# cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
# ls -l libGL.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep  1 10:46 libGL.so -> libGL.so.1

The nvidia one
#ls -l libGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Sep  1 11:09 libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.0.0

rm libGL.so.1
# The original library of the system
ln -s libGL.so.1.2.0 libGL.so.1

Of course this workaround does not function, when started with the x2go
Xsession, because the user has no write permissions in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.

I wonder why x2go worked bevor with KDE4 and the nvidia drivers.
